As-needed parts, repairs & maintenance services for heavy-duty trucks, tractors, and trailers with Santoro, Inc.

 

MOTION

 

Upon recommendation of Marqaicha Welch, Procurement Manager, the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department authorizes the Director to approve DWSD Contract No. 6004753 with Santoro, Inc. to provide as-needed parts, repairs, and maintenance services for DWSD owned heavy-duty trucks, tractors, and trailers for a total contract amount not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 and a term of two years. This also authorizes the Director to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.

 

BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION

 

The DWSD Fleet Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all DWSD owned heavy-duty trucks, tractors, and trailers to ensure they are operational and safe for use.  Although much of the maintenance is performed in-house, occasionally it is necessary to have vehicles and equipment sent out for repairs.  This requires parts, repair, and maintenance services on an as-needed basis to keep the equipment in good working order.  Without this contract the Fleet Department’s ability to maintain our heavy-duty trucks, tractors, and trailers will be difficult, therefore impacting DWSD’s high level of service to our customers.
